Chambered Sealers
-
About ready to pull the trigger on one of these. Supply seems to be low or out. What’s up?
Looking at the VacMaster VP215 but really leaning towards the PrimaVac 254. Really don’t need anything larger.PapaSop I purchased this model on Ebay 3 years ago. Sealed well over 500 bags and no issues what so ever

Thanks for the info. Will look into that supplier. Have upgraded all my equipment from Walton’s so far and the prices and deals have been incredible. But, no inventory on the VP215? Jonathon, Austin ? -
PapaSop We no longer stock the Vacmaster stuff. It is still nice equipment and I don’t have complaints on the quality. I have other issues that keep me from stocking and heavily promoting their products. We still have it all available to order, but it is special order only, which does add several days to the lead time. I don’t think it is a bad choice at all. I like the PrimaVac 254, but we are having issues with Hamilton Beach right now. Not in quality of product, but availability and corporate relations.
Ultimately, issues with vac machine suppliers caused us to go find and manufacture our own. That is in the works and they are scheduled for production in the coming weeks. It will still take us at least 3 months to get them, and most likely 4 months. If you don’t want to wait for a Walton’s brand, either VacMaster or PrimaVac is a good quality option still. Won’t look as pretty without an orange Walton’s logo on it, but other than that, they are just fine.

PapaSop I don’t have a final price on what our chamber model will be yet. It will most likely be $899 though. Still hoping that tariffs come to an end, and if so, we’d be able to drop that price by a lot.

Make the move to the chamber type. The bags are pennies and you can do liquids! Seal and vacuum are much better. Worth every penny!
msalmon I’ve been going to Alaska for 20 years to fish for sockeyes. I bag the fillets in 6mil x 8” lay flat tubing which comes in a 2000 ft roll for about $0.05 per foot. I made a device from two hypodermic needle tubes that are silvered to a piece of stainless wire and hold the bag open and allow a vacuum to be pulled. The needle are then pulled back to facilitate heat sealing. My old Foodsaver is a winner

Awesome. Didn’t know all the particulars. Will sit tight for a bit and see what you guy’s come up with.
It’s that thought of Orange that keeps the world moving.

Austin Can I get one in Blue?

Chef
Lol.
Yep, that VP215 has great reviews and changing oil is not a concern. Curious now to see what they come up with.
Being older now, waiting doesn’t seem to be much of an issue. Just means another glass of bourbon to bide the time.
But then again, anything with an Orange logo is good! Only thing “dark” is blue.

Tex_77 If you’d be willing to pay twice the price, I could probably get you one in blue.

I’ve had a vp 215 for 10 years. Best thing I ever bought. Have to agree on waltons price tho, they just are not competitive on price. Vacuum sealers unlimited is who I deal with, there prices won’t be beat and customer service is top notch. The owner usually gets back within a day.

Mark Spangler 0 They were out of stock just like quite a few of the places, they sell theirs for $995. Most are pre-ordering with a delivery date in February possibly.

I have had a VP215 for 10 years and it has paid for itself from buying multiple food savers and rolls. The product sealed in the chamber sealed bags will last for years and you can seal liquid products. When I make brats I need to freeze them prior to bagging or it will push meat out of the casing and the skinless brats will mash flat if not frozen. It really works great for putting up sweet corn, since the juice is not pulled out of the bag during the sealing process. If you found one for under a grand it is a good deal. I keep mine on a cart that has storage underneath for boxes of bags.

Yeah I agree, they’re spendy but. Here’s my dilemma. I’m on my third Food Saver model and that’s starting to sputter. Have their top one. Also bags are pricey and in short supply. Take the cost of the last three and I’m almost there. Besides, it would be handed down for many years to come. Didn’t know about any new ones but will be checking it out.PapaSop Food Saver can kiss my baggage!! I have nothing good to say about them!
I would put my faith in the ARY VacMaster company. -
Nicolai Yes they can be used Even the manufacturer has it posted on their site.

kyle It will be similar to the VP215 and Weston Pro-2500. I would say that those machines and ours are all very similar with only slight differences and variances.
